Figure 1: It’s a Mac-on-Stick!
For this project, let’s call it Mac-on-Stick, you need the following components:
*
The Mini vMac emulator. The emulator is available for both Mac OS (Classic and OS X), Windows, Linux, and even Pocket PC.
*
A ROM image. If you own Macintosh Plus, 128K, or SE, you can copy the ROM using the CopyRoms utility. Alternatively, you can download a ROM image from http://www.rolli.ch/MacPlus/welcome.html.
*
A blank disk image that acts as the emulator’s hard disk (available from http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/extras/blanks.html).
*
System software. Luckily, Apple offers older versions of its software, including Mac OS up to version 7.5.5, at the Older Software Downloads page. This project uses System 7.0.1
*
Macintosh software to play with. For starters, you might want to check out a list of older Mac software at Mini vMac's website.
*
A USB key (even an older 32MB USB key will do the job).
